a.n. this is a long one (:
brad pulled up outside his parents' house and got out of the car, me following him as he walked to the front door.
his mum opened the door less than five seconds after we'd rung the bell, and her face lit up at the sight of her son.
"hello, love." she cooed, bringing him into a hug.
"y/n! we haven't seen you in such a long time." she beamed, hugging me as well, before pulling brad and i into a three-way hug.
we were greeted by brad's dad, sister, and other close family friends/members of his, before going to the living room and catching up for about an hour.
brad and i went up to bed, stripping down to our underwear, before climbing under the warm duvet.
his arms wrapped around my waist and he pulled me as close as possible to his body, our fronts pressed together.
"good night, princess." brad mumbled, "i love you."
"ditto." i smiled softly, leaning up and kissing him.
i stirred, yawning and squinting my eyes open.
brad appeared to still be asleep, so i lay on top of him, and kissed his soft lips to wake him up.
"happy birthday, baby boy." i smiled when he rubbed his eyes, subsequently opening them, yawning and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"i love you." i added, placing another kiss to his lips.
"thank you." brad said, smiling sleepily. "i love you too."
i lay next to him, my fingers dancing across his chest as we cuddled and talked for a few minutes. "you're old." i stated and brad frowned.
"i'm so old." he pouted.
"when i'm fat and old." i teasingly sang, because of our joint 1d obsession, the two of us smiling.
"i'm not fat."
"hmm..." i playfully trailed off, causing brad's pout to grow.
"i'm joking baby, you're far from." i giggled, kissing his shoulder, and we cuddled for a while more.
"happy birthday!" brad's little cousins squealed, running into our room and jumping on the bed.
"thanks." he grinned, an adorable, happy smile still on his lips.
they hugged brad, giggling childishly at the lack of clothes him and i had on, before stating, "aunty said you two need to stop acting like lazy teenagers and get up because it's nearly lunchtime."
"okay, thank you. tell mum we'll be down in a few, and ask her to make us a cup of tea." brad instructed, the twins nodding before leaving and scampering downstairs.
we both just lay there for a few minutes, still cuddling, until i went to get up.
brad pulled me back down on top of him, pressing his lips to mine again.
"mum won't mind." he mumbled, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer to him.
i smiled, giving in and kissing him back, one of my hands cupping his cheek, the other in his hair, pulling gently on the ends.
brad moaned softly at my actions, his tongue parting my lips as his hands trailed up my spine, causing me to shiver slightly.
he unclipped my bra, pulling it off me without breaking the kiss, and chucked it to the corner of the room somewhere.
he pulled me so i was completely lying on top of him, my elbows resting either side of his shoulders, before flipping us over a minute later, him kneeling over me.
a few minutes later i heard someone clear their throat behind me and pulled away, looking to see who it was.
"it's only my sister, come here." brad whined, trying to turn my face back to his.
"hi." i said sheepishly, staying facing natalie, despite brad's protests over me.
i blushed at my state, seeing as i was under brad, and didn't even have a bra on.
i pushed him off, pulling the covers up to cover my chest.
"hey." she started, but was cut off from finishing her sentence by brad.
"it's my birthday, let me kiss her."
"brad, shut the fuck up and be nice. you wouldn't be like this if i wasn't here. she hasn't seen you in a while." i giggled, lightly playfully smacking his chest, natalie rolling her eyes at him.
"just, the twins came up twenty minutes ago, and mum said you guys actually need to come down now, as people are gonna start arriving soon." natalie explained, "oh, and brad, happy birthday." she added with a smile, "i love you."
brad mumbled something barely coherent along the lines of; asking who the fuck was coming over, loving me and not wanting to have to get out of bed as it was his birthday, before finally saying, "thanks sis, i love you."
natalie smiled at the two of us before walking out, brad pulling me back to his lips as soon as she'd closed the door.
i pulled away, causing brad to pout extremely cutely, as he knew it was one of my weaknesses.
i managed to resist him, getting out of bed and pulling on a bra and some clothes, brad just staring at my exposed body.
"can we fuck tonight?" he asked bluntly.
"not here, with your family around." i giggled, gazing at his beautiful face poking up from under the covers.
"we could go to a hotel or something?" brad suggested.
i shook my head, "yeah, but we should be here with your family, babe. they haven't seen you in a while and i'm sure they want to spend time with you, especially on your birthday." i reasoned and brad nodded but groaned.
i put one of brad's flannels on, it being pretty big on me. "you look cute." he stated, with an adoring smile on his lips.
i had on white skinny jeans with rips at the knees, a black tank top, and brad's unbuttoned, checked flannel.
"so do you." i giggled, seeing as the only part of him visible was his face and curly mop of hair, the rest of his body being covered with the duvet.
"come on." i said, sitting on top of the covers next to brad.
he reached up, cupping my face and caressing my cheek with the pad of his thumb.
i leant into his hand slightly, him pulling my face down to his. "only if you kiss me." he smirked.
i leant down, kissing him softly for a few seconds, before pulling away and standing up, leaving a pouty brad to call out to me about how 'mean' i was.
"i love you, cretin." i said, walking out of the room and going downstairs.
"i love you too, even if you call me a cretin." i heard brad shout and giggled, rolling my eyes.
i continued downstairs, receiving a mug of tea from his mum, and i talked to natalie.
"sorry about him." i giggled, blushing, and she smiled.
"it's absolutely alright, it's crazy how much he likes you."
a minute later, i felt familiar arms around my waist from behind and a chorus of "happy birthdays!"s sounded.
i tilted my face back, looking up at brad and giggling at his bed-hair.
"shh, i couldn't be bothered to do it." he defended, placing a kiss to the tip of my nose.
"you guys are so cute." natalie cooed, causing brad to smile.
"i know." he spoke.
i giggled and he took my cup of tea, drinking it.
"you're not going to stop him?" natalie asked me, motioning to brad, who still had his arm wrapped around my waist.
i shook my head and she continued, "if someone, no matter who, took my tea, i'd literally chop their fingers off." natalie finished, scrunching up her nose slightly.
"she just loves me too much." brad butted in, handing the pretty much empty mug back, and i playfully scoffed.
his mum came back in and ushered us all into the living room, where i sat on the sofa, and brad sat between my legs, his back pressed to my front as it was my turn to wrap my arms around his waist.
multiple gifts and cards were handed to him and he opened them, leaving his mum's until last.
when he opened it, i looked over his shoulder to see two plane tickets to south africa and a hotel reservation.
"mum, thank you so much." brad gushed, standing up and pulling her into a hug.
"it's okay. i thought you and y/n could spend some time together there, seeing as i know you both love africa." she explained with a smile.
"thank you." i said as well, and she beckoned me over for a hug.
i smiled, brad afterwards hugging his sister, kissing my forehead, and sitting back down with me behind him again.
he leant back into me, so he was lying with his head on my chest, and pulled my face down, kissing me.
i heard the sound of a camera and pulled away, looking up to see pretty much all of brad's family with their phones out.
blushing slightly, i looked back down at brad and he kissed me once more, before sitting up again and looking at me expectantly.
"my present for you is in the lounge." i stated and brad got off me, allowing me to lead him into the other room.
"the shape kinda gives it away." i giggled, picking it up and handing it to him.
"hmm, i wonder what it is?" he smiled, unzipping the case and gently taking out the guitar.
"it's so nice." he mumbled, strumming it gently and i watched him with a fond smile.
"thank you." he gushed, standing up and pulling me into a hug, his arms comfortingly wrapping around my waist.
"you're welcome, i love you."
"i love you too." brad mumbled,
